Q: Which equation best represents the calculation of total magnification when using a microscope in the lab?

$$\text{Total Magnification} = \text{Objective Lens Magnification} \times \text{Ocular Lens Magnification}$$

Q: Which formula would you use to calculate the percentage of body mass made up by muscle if you know the mass of muscle and the total body mass?

$$\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Muscle Mass}}{\text{Total Body Mass}} \times 100$$

Q: Which equation would you use to determine the density of a bone sample in lab?

$$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$$

Question 20

A student is asked to explain the difference between a reflex and a voluntary action. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

A voluntary action is controlled by the brain, while a reflex is an automatic response mediated by the spinal cord
